My Take
Casey Stengel is one of those rare figures who managed to be both completely ridiculous and absolutely brilliant at the same time, and I mean that as the highest compliment. The man spoke in rambling, circular monologues that sportswriters nicknamed "Stengelese," and yet somehow those Yankees teams of the 1950s won five consecutive World Series titles under his watch — a feat that still boggles the mind. He had this gift for handling enormous egos and superstar personalities, getting the best out of Mickey Mantle, Yogi Berra, and Whitey Ford without ever letting the clubhouse get too serious. Then the Mets hired him to manage their disastrous expansion squad, and instead of being embarrassed, he turned the whole mess into something weirdly lovable. Inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1966, the Ol' Perfessor earned every bit of it.
